Summarize an interesting story from mythology that your god is a part of:
Artemis had somebody she loved whose name was Orion. One day, Apollo got jealous that Artemis was hanging out with Orion, so he came up with a plan. His plan started with throwing Orion out into the ocean. Apollo did just that.
Apollo called Artemis over and he said that he wanted to have a contest to see who could hit the "dot" out in the distance. Of course Artemis agreed to the contest. Apollo went first and he couldn't hit it, so he wanted Artemis to see if she could hit it. So, Artemis shot her arrow and hit the "dot" in the distance. She didn't realize this at first, but then she realized that she just shot Orion. Since Zeus felt sorry for Artemis, he decided to make Orion a constellation in the sky. That would mean that every night Artemis could be with her love, Orion.
